Our RoomNumber is a location property def. and the Suffix is a manual prop. def. Using a formula to combine them produced:
[RoomNumber][NumberSuffix]
In the Style Manager, the RoomNumber category reads the number correctly from the space, it's just in the formula category where it drops the two 00's.
I'm not sure I'm following what you mean by converting them to strings.
Our suffix's are usually "a", "b" ect if there are multiple doors in the room. This particular door does not have a suffix as it's the only door in the basement. I think if I try to delete the suffix for this one door tag, it would reek havoc on my schedule, wouldn't it? there are other doors in the project that are using suffix's.
